#Russia#Chechen leader Ramzan #Kadyrov: "In recent days, we have been receiving information, but there hasn't been concrete explanations. Well today, the Ministry of Defense clarified the information, because of which they left the cities of #Izyum, #Kupyansk, #Balakleya.
1/
It was forced to preserve human lives. But that doesn't mean anything. I, Ramzan #Kadyrov, officially declare to you that all these cities will be returned back. We have our people there already, and guys who are specially equipped for this work
10 thousand more fighters are ready to leave, and we will reach #Odessa in the near future. And you'll see concrete results.
I am not a strategist like the Department of Defense, but mistakes were made, I think they will draw conclusions.
When you tell the truth, and you tell this truth even to their face...people like that, I always like to tell the truth. My people and I have spoken to all the commanders at the fronts, we have information from the field.
And if today or tomorrow no changes are made to the strategy of the special military operation, I will have to go out to the leadership of the Ministry of Defence, the leadership of the country to explain to them the situation that is really happening there on the ground.

The situation is very interesting, I would even say amazing.The fact that they left, gave up several towns and villages, there is a plus in this too." #Kadyrov#Ukrainerussiawar#Kharkov 6/6

Will #Russia really start a war and finally finish re-educating the enemy?
A blow was dealt to the #Ukraine infrastructure - without electricity and water, part of the #Dnepropetrovsk, #Kharkov and #Sumy regions, Kremenchug, Pavlograd and other cities.

▪️Ex-#USArmy commander in Europe Ben Hodges: #Russia needs to be "de-imperialized
"...US military objectives in this conflict must include the 'de-imperialization of Russia. ...We see the beginning of the end of Russia in its current form. One must be prepared for this..."
⬇️
▪️Sec of the National Sec&Def Council Danilov:
"#Ukraine will no longer be satisfied with #Russia's 'surrender' of #Crimea and #Donbass, nor with reparations for the 'invasion'. #Kiev, together with its Western allies, will seek Russia's complete surrender and demilitarisation."
If we had the Internet during the Battle of the Bulge (aka the Ardennes Offensive)...
▪️Maps of #Germany's success would be shared by both sides, though there'd be no logical explanation as to what would follow next;
1/
▪️Images of knocked out US/allied equipment with #Germans moving onward would flood the web;
▪️Panic would spread across allied forces who would question themselves despite an abundance of men, machines, and a massive industrial base, as well as having success everywhere else; 2/
▪️Ultimately, #Germany would still be suffering from a lack of manpower, equipment, and ammunition - it would still be losing the war despite success during a single battle - and failure would begin to accelerate because of the vast resources concentrated ...
One episode of the withdrawal of troops from the #Kharkov direction.
The passage of the column of the #RAF. Ahead is a huge column of refugees, #Russian troops are the last to close the movement and prevent enemy mobile groups from bypassing the units and attacking civilians. 1/
On the right along the highway, a #Russian armored personnel carrier is on fire, which was the first in the convoy right behind the refugees.
2/
#Ukraine DRG tried to attack the convoy, the #Russian crew entered the battle and completed the task of protecting civilians in the #Kharkov region at the cost of their lives.
In the last 72 hours or so, the pro-Russian side of the internet has been sent into an tailspin of panic over a new #Ukrainian#counteroffensive which is currently being launched in the #Kharkov region, with the intention of compromising the #Russian army grouping at #Izyum. 2/
If you will indulge me, I would like to revive a bit of optimism.
My view is fairly simple: #Ukraine cannot and will not reach meaningful objectives-what we call “operational depth”-and has in fact thrown much of its carefully crafted premium reserves into a dangerous position 3/
The compatibility of the #Russian Armed Forces with allies from other countries has increased thanks to the #Vostok2022 exercises, the maneuvers have made a significant contribution to ensuring military security in the #EastAsia region.
